Very cool! Although I wish the Talkie Face was still included along with
Clarus ;=\
This is easier to implement on the fly:
set swirlieIcon to
":System:Library:CoreServices:CoreTypes.bundle:Contents:Resources:ErasingIco
n.icns"
display dialog space with icon swirlieIcon as alias

Hey cool! But since the giant icons are scattered about the disk, one could
say something like (caution, shell command):
find / -type f -name '*.icns'
One could also filter out the tiny icons by eliminating all that are less
than about 10k in size.
Thanks for your work, this helps my attitude.
